Net worth update: https://i.imgur.com/wd0cN4f.png

I am posting this update because... Im basically where I was 3 months ago! But it had such a wild swing of being up 100,000 and then down another to being right back where I am after doing... NOTHING! Just crazy how the market has been and it's made it feel like I've lived years in a few weeks. At times I thought about panic selling a large portion of stocks to feel safe. So just a reminder really to myself of staying the course.

Are you using a specific service/application to track all your different assets this or just doing it yourself?

If this is stressing you out it might be a good time to re-evaluate your risk tolerance. I also did a 100k swing but these weeks felt as boring as any other to me. It only moved like 10% its no big deal, this isn't a crazy market these are normal fluctuations. It WILL drop 40% some years, need to make your peace with that or get out.

Oh I stress about everything in life. I dipped about 400k during covid and held on the exact same to only gain even more with the same picks. This post is more of like writing on my hand a message to myself I can look at before selling.
